A 3D masterplan of a working apiary opened to the public, where you can set daily visitor numbers, the number of display hives and on-site staff headcount to see the car park, visitor centre, separate staff welfare building, and the sting-safe buffer around the hives all resize and reposition together.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Three sizing rules that pull against each other on a real site plan: public floor area and parking driven by footfall, staff welfare floor area driven by headcount rather than visitor numbers, and a physical sting-safe clearance around the hives that grows with the size of the display and pushes the public viewing deck further back.

🎮 How to Use

Raise daily visitors to grow the car park and visitor centre, raise staff on site to grow the separate welfare building, and add display hives to watch the red buffer ring expand and the viewing deck retreat. Toggle the buffer and accessible-route overlays to see the underlying safety and access logic on their own.

💡 Did You Know?

Staff welfare facilities — rest rooms, changing space, toilets — are typically sized against employee headcount by workplace regulations, completely separate from any visitor-facing capacity planning for the site.
